Battle

(Dida’s point of view)

......That night.As the sun went down, the enemy soldiers also stopped the battle and returned to their camps.“Dida! here’s your al.”After listening to the report from the captain and letting the soldiers rest, I was looking at the desk and the maps of the territory.“Dida, I leave your al here. Please eat before it gets cold.”“Before it gets cold ... Tanya usually brings a warm and delicious al..”That said, I seem to see those warm als that were put on the tray as I raised my gaze.But, sadly, this ti the guards only brought hard snacks and canned food.Those are the ones that the Princess has invented as a part of preserving stock from before.Although, while eating them daily for a while I noticed that it reduced the soldiers burden of cooking and it was highly nutritious.But before I started with the hard snacks, another team entered with a warm al.“... Who made it?”“The volunteer group”“Sorry .... What ingredients were used? Did we pay them properly?”“They said they don’t need it. They said that if they don’t have stock left later, Iris will do sothing about it. If that person wins this war, they’ll never starve. ““That’s true.”I start eating with easy at that point.“Oh ... and please save a place in your stomach for alcohol. They’ve sent the best alcohol.”“... please don’t say anything stupid... We’re at war...”The mber who brought the al laughed as if in trouble.“Do you want to report this to the princess later...”“Hm ... Dida, that’s a little ... I was only joking..”I can see his fright at those words.It was interesting, and finally I laughed loudly.“It’s a joke. ... but a seriously.. how can you co up with such an offer?”“.... How many days do we’ve to keep defending here?”“We need to win...”My words will sound awkward at this ti, but it’s the truth.“The enemies are having fun. I hope they keep that spirit until we win.”Of course, we haven’t given up even in this situation.But.. the indignation that has been accumulated up to this point with this war will burst if I’m not careful.“The enemy is enjoying ... based on what?”“The difference in strength?.”“It’s because the captain is using a narrow exposed path ...”“That’s the only way. They have taken many hostages from this city and have taken control of the passageways. “That’s why I was angry.How to outrun the enemy ... I was thinking of going out and defeating them directly, never to allow them to step on the land of the Alria Duchy ever again....... However, still... the difference in strength can not be easily reversed.“... Speaking of which Dida. It is possible to even our numbers with the solution the volunteers brought... I think...”“Oh, really !?”I scratched my head and jumped out.Long vertical barricades of wood, several thick stakes and many large stones.They were in line.“Oh! Well made in this short ti. Thank you very much.”“That’s fine. If you make use of this, then that’s the best prize for us.”The town’s mbers are proud.“Ah, do you really not want to evacuate? From here on, I can not guarantee your security. Of course, I will do my best to protect the city ... but I do not know what will happen. You see, it’s possible for the enemy to invade... ““Still, here is our city”I feel more and more confused about them.“This is our pride. It’s an important place for us. It has beco a warm ho for all of us since she beca a lord recently. ... I can’t imagine leaving.”“When we had a problem with the fake Voldic family before, we know that she ca to this land and worked to solve it. You don’t have to protect us, but... if we run away and abandon this city.. how will we face the lady later? ““Okay, that’s fine, you should believe and follow as you want. We’ll do our best to protect here”I laughed in spite of myself. This people is cute.Once ... I lived in this city until I was saved by the Princess.From that ti...The princess is acting as a lord, and the territory ... This city has changed a lot.Both the cityscape and the system.But apparently it wasn’t just that.People ... The people’s thoughts also seed to have changed.“Sorry ... By the way, how is the lady?“Hm ... true”“Oh, will soday she co back to this city?”Everyone talks with anxiety and expectation.Like that, I laughed from the bottom of my heart....... I liked it a lot.“Oh yeah ... Put this high shield at the front of each front. Then put the stones in each party.”“What is this thing?”At my request, each mber of the volunteers started to move, and so of them asked a question.“This string is a set with the stones. It is used to throw at the enemy.”“Hey ... will we really live here and defend with you?”“Well, I’m asking...”“Ouch!”“Don’t keep asking thoughtless things! Move on!”“But.. we have hos, are we not using it?”“... I have a request regarding that... the distance to this front makes impossible to reach in ti in case of an attack, can we be here?”To those who ca out, they uttered their request in a low voice.“Well, it’s good ...”I smiled at them embarrassed and agreeing.“Thank you. We might get hurt, but it’s because we asked to help. “After watching them for a while, I return to my seat.“How are we going to fight them?”The person who carried the al who was watching along the way the way asked.“... We will do harassnt.”Seeing my smile, the mbers are a little confused.They were wondering what was its use, but before they asked more questions, I left quickly.... the next day, I called the captain of each squadron before the sun rose.“I have placed the wooden shields made yesterday for everyone who volunteered.”“Huh, uh ... but with a wooden shield, what will we do?”A wooden shield, etc. will soon be smashed with a sword ....Such doubts were expressed in the faces of those who spoke and those who did not.“Just follow my command. First of all, don’t let the enemy get close”“Don’t let them get close?”“Yes, let’s make a group stand up on the barricade, on the upper floor of that house. Then we will fire with the bows from the windows.”“ah I see......”The house I pointed to was the one facing the port.The three-storey building had a number of windows facing the harbor.“We’re not knights. So it’s okay to not be righteous according to chivalry. ...... We’ll be fine if we can defend here. ... yeah?”No one opens his mouth after my statent.But everyone reflected their determination in the eyes.“From now on, until reinforcents co, we will not directly exchange blows as much as possible, and will only focus on reducing the enemy’s fighting ability as much as possible.”“Yes” All of them said in unison.As the sun rose, the enemy soldiers moved.As in yesterday, they are trying to break up into several groups and break into the city.A mber of the team who was waiting in the building shoots to the enemies.The arrow shot from above accelerated and dropped according to gravity.Several arrows fall, attacking the enemy soldiers rcilessly.“Ohhhh! Where is the enemy!!! Where are the attacks coming from??”“Oh, over there!”“Up! Protect yourself with a shield!”The lift up the shields and we throw the stones with a trebuchet as they continue advancing.As with the arrows, the stones also hit the targets, because the shields couldn’t support the heavyness which with the gravity was added, and so enemy soldiers even were blown away.At the sa ti, we shoot arrows from the ground towards them, as they continue lifting the shields upwards.The enemy’s line was disorganized from the attacks from two directions.After receiving reports from each team, I think of the whole situation in my head.And each ti, I add an additional instruction or a correction if necessary.
